Clay Buchholz Would get his First Start of the Year- and it would be a good one.

 This being the first game since returning from the all-star break the Sox looked to stay in command in the East.  Not knowing if Beckett and Wake would pitch in the all-star game(which they didn't and I personally thought they really should have got Wake in the game)so they made this move. The Sox brought up Clay Buchholz (7-2 in minors this year) for this one start knowing no matter how good he did, he would be sent back to the minors after the game. This did not matter to Clay Buchholz, he came out gunning, he threw 103 pitches, only allowed 4 hits and 1 earned run and had 3 strikeouts--Nasty!!  He went into the 6th and was relieved by Bard who ended the inning and looked great also. Makes you think should we keep Clay up here and sit Smoltz, what does Sox Nation think??? Log in and let me know!!!

This is still the best logo of all time in any sport. Pat Patriot. A true symbol of a football team. Though he was retired as the face of the Patriots, he lives on in vintage apparel and souvenirs.

The Boston Celtics swept their five game home stand last night. The C's battled the Miami Heat in what was a playoff game atmosphere, and the Celtics won their 5th game in a row giving the C's 60 wins in the season with 3 games left to go. Dwayne Wade (NBA's leading scorer) gave us all he had scoring 31, but it wasn't enough to beat us; the C's hung on and win 105-98.

Last night, we lost another star to the pre-season. Antawn Jamison went down with a knee injury after playing only 4 mins. Which begs the question why do we need a pre-season anyway. Now the Washin

Everybody knows Paul Pierce can score.  His reputation in the NBA is that of a tenacious scorer, capable of tormenting defenders and taking over offensively for stretches, using his combination of size and grace to muscle or slash his way into the lane or to the rim or to create space for his silky smooth mid-range jumper.  Unfortunately for Pierce, this is all he's been known as, and for several years he has been seen as only a ball-hogging chucker who couldn't defend anyone, more focused on padding his stats on an irrelevant team than winning games.  While this characterization seems fitting enough given the performances of him and his team for the past few seasons, this season Pierce has shown to the world what dedicated Celtics fans have known for years, that Pierce is a well rounded and versatile player on both ends of the floor, both willing and able to do whatever it takes to get his team a win.

I call myself the Sports Sage so that should give you a clue as to just how dumb I really am when it comes to actual sports knowledge. I watch sports because they are exciting, inspirational and free on TV. They happen in real time and have predictable commercials. Often we get to ooh and Ahhh at things that we will almost never be able to do while watching grown up people like us at play. Its a lot more fun than watching regular people like us work.

Leave it to Curt Schilling to make us forget all about a little debacle called Super Bowl XLII.
The Boston Red Sox righthander apparently has suffered an undisclosed right shoulder injury, sending the Hub's frantic media hoard into overdrive. Speculation is that Schilling will be out at least until the All-Star break and some outlets have gone as far as to say that the 41-year-old could miss the entire season.
